Welcome, Adventurer! The players of Lineage II hail from around the world, from various time zones and lifestyles. To accommodate the diverse player population, the choice of what time Castle Sieges will run on Bartz is up to you!

What Does this Poll Decide?

Bartz's server time is CST, which would traditionally dictate that the Castle Sieges occur at a particular time that may be inconvenient for players to do not play during the normal CST time zone hours. Therefore, for the first time ever, we are changing the schedule for Castle Sieges so that the pre-dominant player population on Bartz can enjoy the events at convenient times! Learn more about general Bartz server details here.

The first Castle Sieges on Bartz will be on Sunday, January 22, 2012.

You get to decide what time of day the Castle Sieges take place.

What are Castle Sieges?

Castle Sieges are scheduled PvP events in which clans can compete against each other and against the game server for ownership of castles in the land of Aden. Learn more about Castle Sieges in the Lineage II website's Library.

The first-ever Castle Siege on the Shilen server took place recently, on December 18, 2011. In the First Castle Sieges event (for new servers only), clans that win castles will receive special prizes. Bartz will be included in this competition! Read more about the First Castle Sieges event here.
